I can go back and listen to classic glam tracks and it sounds like a masterpiece compared to what is popular today.
Grunge was extremely miserable, the anthem to Columbine someone once described it to me as. I always wondered what had pi$$ed grunge bands off so much.

One major difference between the heavy metal hair bands and grunge is that the hair bands were unabashedly male (aside from the long hair and makeup). They sang about cars, fighting and sex with pretty girls. The grunge guys, epitomized by Cobain, were the more emasculated, everybody-picked-on-me-in-school whiners. The hair band guys gave you the impression that they were the ones getting all the girls in high school, while the grunge guys moped in their basements because no girls liked them. I wonder if the grunge scene was the first generation of truly brainwashed politically correct lefty nutbags to graduate out of the government indoctrination centers.

At least the glam bands sounded like they were having fun. Grunge was nothing but endless music-esque bitching and moaning from petulant, drugged-out children. The whole decade was a cultural wasteland, really (with some notable exceptions).

My favorite rock being made now is instrumental. Probably because I grew so tired of listening to narcissistic whining vocals during the 90s.
